Hi Tony,

I'm glad to hear that you have the same stupid idiots on bicycles in the uk as we have in Germany.

...fortunately, sales of bicycles (as well as electric cars) are currently collapsing in germany. That gives us at least a little hope...

...Habe eine Werkstatt in BH gefunden jetzt suchen wir Teile... Hallo Martin, ich vermute Du sprichst und verstehst Deutsch, deshalb schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch... (if not, try deepl.com for translation 8-) ) "BH" = Bremerhaven? Ich will Dir ja keine Angst machen, aber da bin ich mal neu...

Stoertie

Hi, that will be very expensive, if you want to have a qualified repair. So the distance shouldn't be be no problem.(insurance has to pay) I would recommend to contact Franz Schaffer in Moosburg near Munich ( https://kfz-schaffer.de/kontakt/ ) It's not near to Bremerhaven, but I'm sure he is able to...

Hi, why don't you ask the BMW Classic ( classic@bmwgroup.com ) ? (please post the answer from BMW Classic right here in the forum, then everyone will know how much the preservation of our classic cars (and our customer satisfaction) means to BMW Classic. :D The more of us ask for parts that are curr...

Stoertie

Hi Ian, Have you checked the thick round connector under the intake manifold/throttle valve? The contacts are 30 years old and are oxidising. If these contacts are black, they should be replaced. The crimp contacts (male and female) are available from BMW as a spare part, but it's a really nasty job...

Perfect view!
Nobody needs the Z1 as a vehicle for everyday use anymore, so you can safely wait until something stops working and then fix it. - Especially with the astronomical prices for spare parts.

Stoertie

Yes... look here

Stoertie

this parts manual is pretty good for showing what is discontinued: http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/Z1/Europe/Z1-M20/browse/ But this source of information is not really accurate. If you want the latest information, you should check the online shop of an official BMW dealer. These shops are usuall...

You can also test it a little easier... After initializing the door (pull out the fuse for a few seconds), push in the door lock. after the door is closed, open it again from the outside. Now take out the door handle and pull the linkage with your hand to the front, if the door motor starts, it is s...

Hi, beneath the seat is a round cut in the carpet. Behind this "carpet flap" is the inspection door. It's a round piece of sheet metal, that is fastend with two screws. Adjustment of that linkage isn't explaint in the repair manual. Inside you cyn find the actuator for central closing and ...

Stoertie

Hello folks, The passenger side door latch is not opening the door (open or close). I can hear the linkage operating, and when the door is closed, pulling the latch does release the locking pin (loud pop sound), but the door does not operate. The door operates fine using the outside door button. Dr...

Stoertie

Hello all,
my search has come to an end. I have found new, identical springs and only have to convince the German TÜV to register these springs in the vehicle documents.

Best regards
Michael

Stoertie

Hi Harlan, yes, maybe it will be a nightmare... ;) I'll make it easy for myself and use the deepL-translator for the following... ;) The immobiliser normally interrupts the power supply to the fuel pump, the ignition and the control of the starter motor. For each of the three assemblies, there are t...

Stoertie

Hi,

we use the BMW part-no: 51479128456 from the Z4
..and the rectangle version from the Z3 51472261407 (this is much cheaper)

These nets are easy to install and fits perfect into the Z1

Stoertie

Hi Jamal,

sorry for my late reply...

Yes everything is well here! - Some small problems with my yellow one but enough time in winter to find out the reasons and to fix it.

regards
Michael

Stoertie

Immobiliser may be the problem. More and more of these are having problems. The relay contacts inside are old and the contacts inside are more and more worn. We have had the same problem in our blue Z1... sometimes the engine starts, sometimes not. After uninstalling the immobiliser we have had no f...

Well, the relay is no longer available, so if that is indeed the problem, I need to find a solution somehow...(any one got one for sale??) EBAY??? e31, e32 e34 and e36/Z3 should fit too just take care of the number of contacts and the housing... search for the part-no: 61311379040 Btw. who said it'...

Stoertie

Hi Robert, I don't think that the problem is the relay but if so, the relais of the e31, e32 e34 and e36/Z3 should fit too. If you have a smaller steering wheel, you can try an indicator swich of e34. When you connect the wires from the Z1 harness to e34 switch (the wires are soldert to the switch) ...

Stoertie

Hi Robert, sounds like a problem at the indikator switch. I have had a similar problem with the high beam switch. Sometimes, in spring after the winter pause the high beam switch doesn't work correctly. There is a lot of grease inside the switches and over the years this grease solidifies and so the...

Hi Robert,

very strange! - Two switches at the same time...

Stoertie

Who has taken off the rear wing? RKV? - Than it should be a repaair for free, otherwise you can try to open the cap of the connector at the cable, check wich one (7 or 3) has no connection to ground, make a new connection from that pin to the chassis. (It's not perfect but it will work

)

Stoertie

Hi Robert, it's possible that 3 is also a ground. Please check it reverse... From the bulb socket to the pins inside the glued connector at rear light. If Pin 3 is the ground for reverse/brake there must be 0 ohms between the pin and one of the connectors at the bulb sockets of the reverse and/or br...

Stoertie

That's right, the connector at the rear light is glued, but the connector at the cable has a rubber cap and it should be possible to pin out the contacts. There are several tool sets available at ebay for pinning out contacts from the different housings.. ;-) But check the voltage and the ground at ...

Stoertie

Hi Robert, here comes the pinning: Connectors: X10 – Rear Left X11 – Rear Right Pinning (same in both sides): 1 = Rear light 2 = Breaking light 4 = Indicator light 5 = Reversing light 6 = Rear fog light 7 = Ground Nearby the contacts there should be small number marks in the plastic. ;) Cleaning the...

Stoertie

Is it only at one side or at both sides? Have a look to the contacts inside the connector to the rear light. I think they used the same as inside the connector below the intake and these contacts are more and more weak. If the contacts are black, there is a very high resistance. Then you hhave to ch...

Stoertie

Hi Robert, there are no relays for reverse and breaking light. That fault is strange, because the wiring of breaking light and rear light are, with the exception of the ground connection, total different. Does the problem happend on both sides? I think it may be a problem of the connection from grou...

Hello everyone, my Z1 has become a little bit too low over the years. So I'm looking for a set of lowering springs from the former company AP-Sportfahrwerke. The number of this spring set is 12.40 It would therefore be important that the springs were either only driven a few kilometers or have never...

Stoertie

I noticed new plastic replacements are still available from BMW but I assume they will be 30 plus years old, probably brittle, and still have the inherent design flaw. Hi Tony, yes, that's right, maybe you get an old part, but you have a 2 year guarantee (at least in Germany) Our blue Z1 also neede...

As Micheal pointed out specialist road legal track day tyres are available in the form of the Yokohama A08RS, and the latest A052 which replaced the A048. Hi TJS, no problem, everyone can buy and drive the tire he wanted to... My opinion is. that it makes no sense to remake old tires just to get th...

Hi @all, I'm dragging this old post up again. Often the hook is bent, so that the spring will not hold in the closed(?) position. If you try to bent this to it's normal position it will break off in most cases. I just designed a repair part for that problem. It's small hook 3D-printed out of fine st...

Hey Pat, I just have had a look to the German Pirelli site... no tire in our size (225/45R16) only 17", and 18" are available. But there are a few others in this size and I'm sure these tires are available in the UK too. Look here Last Friday we have had a lot of fun at our annual "af...

The astonishing thing is that they still have phenomenal grip. That's really astonishing! :shock: In Germany you will not come trough the periodic TÜV examination with tires older then 8 years.

I go through this debate in my head every year - should I replace the Goodyear Eagle F1s on my Z1? They're dated from roughly 2002 and they look absolutely fine. No cracks or the like on the sidewalls or between the tread blocks. They seem to stick to the tarmac as good as always. No bulges in the ...

Hi, after Bridgestome stoped the production of the S02, I decided to buy the Yokohama Advan AD08RS and many Z1 owners of our comunity ( Z1-Nordlichter.de ) followed.
